BELLAIRE ELECTION.
THE LIQUOR MEN CARRY THE CITY By A
MAJORITY OF l07.
The Temperance People Have The Upper Hand II
Three Wards-A Close and
Exciting Contest

The vote in Bellaire, yesterday, on the
temperance issue, was larger by several
hundred than most people had anticipated.
The weather was all that could have been
desired, and those interested were at the
polls early. The ticket voted by the tenn
perance folks contained the following
words For Prohibitory Ordinance. "
Those of the anti = temperance people
Against Prohibitory Ordinance" As
soon as practicable the ladies made their
appearance at the voting place in each
ward, and the way they did button-h hole
the boys when they came up to cast
their ballots was a caution, and
not a few of. the sterner sex
changed their minds suddenly when in
sisted to do sc by the fair ones. But the
boys with green ribbons were not sleeping,
and whenever occasion presented isselt
they got in effective work, besides they
felt sure from the first that the majority
was with them. By eleven o'clock the
ladies of the w. c. T. U. had arranged so
that they could serve lunch at each of the
voting places to all who desired it. At
noon the streets of Bellaire presented an
animated appearance. Hacks and car
riages hurried to and fro with
voters; crowds of ladies occupied the
sidewalks, and the whole topic
related to the election. The employees of
the nail factory were so interested in the
affair that they did not work, but collected
with the great crowds about the polls.
Some little money changed hands, and the
grit of several prOhibitionists in this direc-
ton is to be admired. Notwithstanding
the spirited contest everything passed of
pleasantly. The ladies were assisted by
Miss Ada Sherman, the revivalist, who
spent the whole day working for the tenn
perance advocates.
Many interesting incidents were OBJ
servable during the day. One fact which
excited comment, was the labor of several
old time drinkers on behalf of tine temper
ance ticket. Another was the neat manner
in which voters who accepted prohibitory
tickets from the lady workers, managed to
change them for anti-prohibition slips on
their way to the ballot box. In this way
many a man who is supposed to have
voted for temperance really voted the other

or for Alabama.

Mr.. Lewis Jones, of the Island, left for
Birmingham, Ala, last evening in the in
terests of the industrial establishment he
proposes to inaugurate there. Mr.. Jones
said yesterday that he much preferred to
remain here in Wheeling, nOtwithstand-
ing he had offers from both Pittsburg and
Alabama capitalists, but that he had been
unable to interest the monied men of
Wheeling in the establishment of a new
enterprise here. He had approached sew
eral people and stated his plans and desires
at length, hut the most they offered was
to lend money at something above the
legal rate. A number Of gentlemen of
limited means, but possessed of considera-
BILE energy, are talking up the matter,
however, and if Mr.. Jones should fail to
embark in business in the South an effort
will he made to locate the new enterprise
in Wheeling.

plant at the Jefferson, Steubenville, and

The Health Committee.

This Committee met at the City Hall
last evening aud opened the bids for the
removal of the city garbage during the en-
suing year. The bids were very uneven,
some being extremely high, while others
were so low as to give rise to the suspicion
that the bidder had not taken the long
haul TO the crematOry into consideration.
A member of the Committee said, how
ever, that the average would cost the city
81, 900 to 81, 800 more than in previous
years, and after celebrating over the
question for a while, the Committee
agreed to a resolution, asking Council, to-
night, to appoint a special joint committee
to locate a new site for the furnace, and
then rejected all bids.

The Coke Problem.

cold Short in Age Of Sted.
l notice a publication in a paper not
unfriendly to the coke syndicate, that the
cost of producing coke is at present about
81. 90 per ton, and when the cost of trans
pOrtation is added there is but little profit
left" (sic.) This might be true if the
producer paid for the transportation, but
~unhappily the consumer has these bills to
settle. For instance Wheeling furnacemen
pay 81 90 per ton for coke at the works
and an additional $1.50 per ton for trans
pOrtatiOn from the coke works to their
furnaces, so, to use a homely phrase, 1.-THE
boot that squeezes is on the other leg"
The coke syndicate made a mistake, and
prudence suggests a rectitication; after all,
mistakes are in business what bitter tOnics
are in debility; they act in the same man.
